The real shame is that PSTN lines continued to be installed through decades, despite ISDN existence.
Thankfully, wrongs have finally been righted with FTTP/FTTH being widespread now.
I enjoyed ISDN internet access at 128kbps via high school in the mid 90s, and shitty v90 through early 2000s.

AT&T in particular has proven they care nearly not at all to roll out their fiber product to residential, even when they were still stubbornly doing FTTN out of cheapness. I’m still sad that Google pulled the plug on investment in Google Fiber. The only thing that could possibly have egged American telcos on enough to build a real network.
